No increment
Playing without increment is fun, but I don't really see why I should play like that anymore. Beside the fact that I lose loads of points, sometimes it doesn't even resemble the game we call 'chess'.'Blunderfest' would be a more appropriate name. It makes me remember a saying, that patzers and masters don't play the same game, it just happens that the rules are the same...
Funny, after playing a dozen or so games without increment, a 2 12 game seems _long_ to me...I guess I should really take on standard now. Playing long games is one advice of Heisman I didn't quite follow until now.
